Notes from Underground is perfectly rated. It's acknowledged not to be Dostoevsky's best work, but still pretty good. It's perfect to into Dostoevsky, just in terms of getting a sense of his style.

Grapes of Wrath isn't overrated, it's a flawless novel and perfectly balanced.

Just that the murricans read a nover in high school doesn't mean that the novel is bad or overrated.

Les Misérables

Actually liked it, but Hugo's constant ramblings about the Revolution, the Monarchy and the Church mortally wounded the pace for me.
